Coworking Meetup on 1/22 at Uptown

Another week passed with lots of opportunities. We just came from a meeting and were looking forward to share our updates with the group.
Laura, Jane, Eric, Betsy and two new participants Jason and John, Stefan and Christine attended. After a round of introductions (writers, retail/business consulting, construction, online retail, software training and lawyers) we presented 3 different ideas for Coworking spaces in West Seattle.
One is a bar which would fit about 10 desks with a meeting space upstairs. It is a little smaller, has no separation between focused vs. collaborative space, no kitchen and no space to grow but a fun atmosphere. We would go with a Pirate theme. One is a small, temporary space on Alki for approx. 8 desks but no separate meeting room. We still would have to keep looking and move to a permanent space in the upcoming months. And one is a schoolhouse with space for about 15 to 20 desks. We would share the building with other tenants (mainly small businesses as well),and it's a great creative space with great parking, also right on the C Bus route. We got some valuable feedback to all three and will explore further options and more details on all three this week. Wish us luck!
